Channel 4 is to broadcast the Muslim call to prayer during Ramadan this year, it revealed yesterday. It is believed to be the first time a mainstream British television channel has broadcast the Islamic call to prayer.

Starting next week, the broadcaster will transmit the morning call to prayer daily for the 30 days of Ramadan.

I'm not a Muslim. But we have songs of praise as well as other program's for other religions. I think it's great that they a recognising the Muslim traditions now. It might help calm the anti Muslim violence which is rampant here in England right now.

Songs of Praise is on once a week on a Sunday afternoon/evening - not every day! and before you say it's only during ramadan, how long before it's for every other muslim celebration, then every day of the year?

Anti Muslim violence?????

Can't say I've noticed any white Christians trying to behead any Muslims in England, same can't be said for the other way round though!

I appreciate that act. Islam is a religion & believe, nobody is forcing it on the others. A call for prayer in a channel is not "islamification", have some self-esteem british, your country ; you have the upper hand.

Stop the drama & the whining, and don't feel mad when people believe this religion & start practicing it. But try to ask yourself : why is it spreading so widely, despite the ongoing propaganda against it ?

As far as I know, a country is a place that contains people ; the people have the right to choose their faith.

When you have a large portion which like to "adapt" religious pov, you don't have the right to take that away from them.

The country -which is a reflection of the people- should respect its citizens & their religion.

You don't have the right to take that away from people, I honestly don't want to be rude -it's forbidden in my religion to talk rudely-, but you can change the channel or block it if you didn't like its content.

Choose any religion you want, Do it in your own home, gather in a building, but having religious crap all over tv annoys me..

For those who do not know, the call to prayer that will be on channel 4 is at daybreak.That means 99.9% of you will be sleep, let alone watching tv at that time ofnight.Day break will be around 4amSo, chill out

*Dont fuck with me; ill jump on my menstrual cycle & run your ass over ;)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The universe responds NOT to what you want.....it responds to what you are being.......are you being what you want?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~the karma cafe has no menus. you get served what you deserve~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~when a country is greatly disoriented —as it is currently in America with regards to polarization on many issues— that it’s easy for the Government —and other powers that be— to manipulate the public with lies and deceit. This is not a new strategy, but one that has been implemented in this country —as well as others— for centuries. It’s specifically designed to control the masses by generating and perpetuating confusion. in the past the truth about certain national incidents were not found out and revealed to the public for years. Now, thanks to the internet, it takes only a few months to discover the policies and activities of our Government and mega-corporate empires —that are criminal to say the least.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Alan Isaacman The People Vs Larry Flynt"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you've heard a lot here today and I won't try to go back over it all. But you have to go back in that room and make some decisions and there is one thing I want to make very clear to you before you do. I'm not trying to convince you that you should like what Larry Flynt does. I don't like what he does. But what I do like is... that I live in a country... where you and I can make that decision for ourselves. I like that I live in a country where I can pick up Hustler magazine... read it if I want... or throw it in the trash, if that's where I think it belongs. Or better yet I can express my opinion by not buying it. I like that right. I care about it. And you should care about it, too... because we live in a free country. We say that a lot, but sometimes we forget what that means, so listen again. We live in a free country. That is a powerful idea. That's a magnificent way to live. But there is a price for that freedom, which is that sometimes... we have to tolerate things that we don't necessarily like. So go back in that room... where you are free to think whatever you want to think... about Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine. But then ask yourselves if you want to make that decision for the rest of us... because the freedom that everyone in this room enjoys... is, in a very real way, in your hands. If we start throwing up walls against what some of us think is obscene... we may wake up one morning and realize... that walls have been thrown upin places we never expected... and we can't see anythingor... do anything. And that's not freedom. That is not freedom. So, be careful. Thank you."VIDEO: [link to youtu.be]

There are strict laws in the UK governing religion on TV. You can't promote religions on mainstream channels - there are plenty of Pakistani and islamic channels if they want to watch them. The only religion so far on mainstream TV in the UK is one hour of hymns on a Sunday afternoon. So why should muslims flout this to have their stuff played on a mainstream channel every day?

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12
